Transfer non purchased music

[swilson6713]

Recently got a 15 pro and upgrading from 11 pro. None of my music transferred over though. I’ve had the songs for years, prior to the 11 pro. Roughly 20 years.
How do I transfer the songs from the old phone to the new phone?

If you have a mac and files in it, just sync them.

Sorry. Should’ve mentioned that I only have the files in my phone at this point.

The songs had to get onto your iPhone 11 Pro in some way... did you purchase them from the iTunes store? If so, you can download them again from the iTunes Store.

Did you purchase them using a different music store? If so, you can probably redownload them from that store's app.

Otherwise, you would have had to sync the music files on a computer to your iPhone 11 Pro at some point. If you don't have a computer anymore and did not back up the music files.... well, you'll need a computer and you will need to sync the music files from the iPhone 11 Pro to the computer. I'm partial to iMazing for this job.
